Our Parliamentary Processes have been ripped up and thrown out, and may never be the same again.

Because, they are going against convention. They should call a motion of no confidence. If they win it fine, the government falls.
If they lose it, then let the government govern.

Your post manages to tangle itself up in contradictions. "What they don’t do is take the place of the Executive, on selective motions, which is exactly what they have done." So, which is it? Either you think they're taking the place of the legislature or you don't think they are.
I am focusing on the current reality, not what may have been the case before BoJo was PM and rule books were thrown out of the window.

Two of the above will not have a happy ending  |
If you kick the tin can down the road long enough, these magical technological solutions for the 400-mile Irish border may be invented. I'm surprised that one of the 17.4million has not done so yet.
